I'd either send flowers with the card attached, or send it to their home. You don't know for sure when they'll be discharged, and you don't know how the hospital delivers mail, it might get there one day but not be delivered to the patient until the next or something. With flowers, you can tell them exactly when you want them delivered.

Many hospitals disallow flowers on certain floors. I found that out when I tried to send a bouquet to someone who had back surgery last year. You might consider Mylar balloons--latex ones usually aren't allowed because of allergies--instead of flowers, or just send a get-well card to the person's home.
